Local Government - Community Health and Wellbeing Toolkit

Local government plays an important role in influencing, protecting and promoting health and wellbeing at the local level. Preventive Health SA has a Public Health Partner Authority Agreement with the Local Government Association of Australia to actively support and build the capacity of South Australian councils to continue to invest in and strengthen community wellbeing initiative planning, implementation and evaluation.

This partnership builds upon existing investment and further strengthens the collaboration in public health and community wellbeing between state and local government for the benefit of all South Australians.

Visit the Preventive Health SA website to find out more about this Public Health Partner Authority Agreement and to access resources that support councils to undertake the full range of their public health and health promotion functions under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011.
